Tex, Compression ratio is a math problem that for any engine has to have the measurements taken. Area of the cyl bore (Area=pi*radius of bore squared) times the stroke. This (for one cylinder) is its swept volume, or displacement. Next you need the displacement of the combustion chamber (with the piston crown sticking up from the block deck subtracted from it. Turning the head upside down and putting measured water in the combustion chamber works. Putting the piston crown into a calibrated beaker to the depth of the crown will give that difficult displacement. With the numbers, will be the compression ratio Swept volume compressed into the combustion chamber volume. The most important elememt is the compression pressure. this is a dynamic factor that on farmalls can be as high as 175 or more on some stock gas engines (or much higher on pulling engines running special fuels. Someone may respond with some numbers, but this is the best I can do. Pressure below 140 probably can use regular fuel. over 150 will need premium. JimN

Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
